Don't go for it Hill! Never surrender!

But I thought it wasn't over until the "Lady in the Pantsuit" said so?

Hillary will be dignified if she wins nomination.. otherwise she will be the Dems worst nightmare.

In like a lion, out like a bitch.

HHS Sec. Clinton? Oh man, that fire up the GOP base!

Well, if it requires her to be dignified, I guess they're out of luck

Keep on fighting, Hillary.

Pants suits never quit.....

(just remember that Hillary.... just remember...)

Don't go for it Hill. He's half white- don't trust whitey!

I can't believe I almost feel a little bit bad for Hillary. I mean, to be treated like that by your own party after being such a good moonbat.
OT - I hope McCain picks Jindal.

I hope the hell she stays in! I would rather see her vs McCain than the Obamessiah! Holy cow....I will hide under the covers if she quits. But she seems like a snotty bitch....hopefully she tells the Dem party to GFT. I fear Obamessiah more than I fear her.

JMHO

Preview is your friend: HHS Sec. Clinton? Oh man, that will fire up the GOP base!

I have a feeling the Clintons have a whopper coming by the end of the summer and the Messiah will be the target.

The former First Lady would get the chance to pilot Mr Obama’s reforms of the American healthcare system if she agrees to clear the path to his nomination as Democratic presidential candidate.

Not again. Haven't we already been through this once?

Tentative contacts have already taken place between Obama and Clinton aides over the endgame, but there have been no formal talks.

obama's practicing for iran.

Hillary won't bow out until she's ushered off the convention floor in advance of the grand coronation. She plans on keeping that from happening. I would not bet against her, but I sure would bet against her party in November.

re: #23 mitthrawnurdo

Two socialists are better than one!

I've seen this movie before, it doesn't end well.

Obama is such a weak and uneducated candidate they might have to pick her for VP.

Frankly, if she does this soon, she is stupid, and I don't think the Clintons are stupid. She must see that her opponent for the nomination is imploding and she isn't that far behind.I think there is still something out there about Obama that she knows exists and that is why she has stayed in this long. I believe she had hoped the Republicans would spring it so she hasn't unleashed it. My feeling is that she is trying to survive until the convention and hope someone else releases it.I know that is a conspiracy theory, but it seems the only explanation I can come up with for her to stay in this thing.

Oh c'mon... Hillary ain't going near any kind of healthcare omnibus bill. Especially one where the putative president could abandon the bill and leave her twisting in the wind -- again -- over socialized medicine. That would make her look foolish, and drive the final, permanent nail in any future presidential aspirations. She'd be a dolt to take this offer.

re: #17 Israel4ever

I can't believe I almost feel a little bit bad for Hillary. I mean, to be treated like that by your own party after being such a good moonbat.
OT - I hope McCain picks Jindal.

Jindal is one vibrantly intelligent young man. I worry about experience with him, but my intuition says he has more sense in his pinky finger than Obama will ever have.

There's no way Lady Macbeth would accept this offer, unless it were to sabotage Obama from the inside. I think she'd rather stay in the Senate and challenge him in 2012 if, Cthulhu forbid, he wins in '08.

One recalls the man who gave instructions on the disposal of his mother-in-law's remains.

'Enbalm, cremate and bury. Take no chances!'

OTOH, the Obamanable Snowjob may, just *may*, turn into the biggest gafft, I mean gift, the GOP could ask for in this particular year. The man who can't remember how many states there are in the Union, who thinks the honored dead really want to hear him speak, who gives $20,000 to a racist church he runs away from at the last possible moment, may actually be beatable.

The problem I have is the messiah factor. Too many people think this joker can walk on water--it truly frightens me to think him with 60 senators and a Demo house.

This is a real laugher -- here's a party that has created a whole host of victimization groups, and now they're reaping; it's going to be a nasty drive to Denver.

To add, the gaffes keep piling up, before they know it, the man will have a book of gaffes -- they are actually sowing the seeds of their landslide defeat in November...what will they do then?

Can Obama throw her under the bus before he ends up in Fort Marcy Park?

/June starts tomorrow, remember what happened to RFK

Hell no, she won't go! She's taking it to Denver.

re: #36 really grumpy big dog johnson

Jindal is one vibrantly intelligent young man. I worry about experience with him, but my intuition says he has more sense in his pinky finger than Obama will ever have.

And he speaks a whole lot better also.

I can't wait for her to start campaigning for the 'anointed one.' I will be analyzing her every statement and calculating how painful it must have been for her to deliver it. I swear it's going to be as if she's pulling out her own fingernails one by one...and then starting in on her toenails. Hoo-hah!

Another Democrat who has discussed strategy with friends in the Obama inner circle said that Mr Obama was openly considering asking Mrs Clinton to join his cabinet, alongside two other former presidential rivals: John Edwards, who is seen as a likely attorney general;

That alone is enough to not vote for Obama.

A less palatable democrat (B. Hussein Obama) may not necessarily be a bad thing if McCain is going to win this election. I only wish the Repubs could run a genuine conservative candidate.

Of course, if B. Hussein managed to win... God help us all.

re: #36 really grumpy big dog johnson

Jindal is one vibrantly intelligent young man. I worry about experience with him, but my intuition says he has more sense in his pinky finger than Obama will ever have.

Absolutely. If he can use Louisiana as his proving grounds and fix that broken mess of a socialist welfare state post Katrina his nomination would be assured. Forget Veep. Go all the way.

She should active the Omega 13!

Never give up! Never surrender! Go, Hill, go!

At one time I thought Clinton would be the easier Democrat to beat. Now, after much hard work by Obama, he has changed (he loves change!) my mind and I think he is the weaker. Hopefully, Clinton will be dissed to the point she keeps up the fight and takes this to the convention.

Well- there is that. But all she needs is another book deal, so I don't see why she'd need to go for this.

Not according to this Dem pollster in the article who gives us his all wise all knowing assessment of Hillary's defeat. (notice he says defeat as if it's a done deal)

In any case, Mr Mellman believes the decisive factor in her defeat was the one she couldn’t control. “The most important thing was that she was up against Barack Obama. He is enormously talented.”

stay in the Senate until her term ends
and quietly leave public life

oh, and Bill Clinton will have a heart attack and die in there somewhere

I just felt something run up my leg - and make a B line to my anus.

Look. I'm not rooting for Hillary in anyway, but Obama needed to be kept in this nomination fight for as long as possible. You can see what has happened because it has dragged on as long as it has. None of this stuff would have had a chance to come out. I'm sure the Clinton's have had a hand in the "leaks" about Wright,Ayres, etc.That being said it has been helpful to McCain. He is also not my favorite, but I will vote for him. I'm not sure who is more electable, Obama, or Hillary. If by some unfortunate turn of fate, Hillary gets the nod and beats McCain, I don't think she is as dangerous as the "messiah" BHO. Just my two cents worth.P.S, It made me gag just to say that about the Hildebeast.......

What, exactly, is a "dignified" exit? If she concedes defeat, will they hand her a plaque commending her valiant battle for the Democratic nomination? Or will they send flowers to her funeral? ;-)

My guess is that McCain sees Obama as a less than loyal American. Whatever I think of him, he is a patriot.

Hillary's biggest mistake by far was assuming she'd have the nomination wrapped up by Super Tuesday. Her plan kerplopped when that didn't happen, and she had no troops on the ground to challenge the Obama surge. That one error alone may have cost her the election. But I won't count her out until I hear the vote that says Obama's the man. I can't understand a political party that would select an unelectable nominee, but then again, I haven't been a Demonrat for a long time.

Mr Obama hinted at the plan last week. “One of my heroes is Abraham Lincoln,” he said. “Lincoln basically pulled in all the people who had been running against him into his cabinet because whatever personal feelings there were, the issue was 'how can we get this country through this time of crisis?’ And I think that has to be the approach that one takes.”

Now that you mention it, that might be HRC's bottom line bargaining position. She could occupy the Ruth Bader Ginsberg 'seat'. A seat on the Supreme Court would be much more prestigious that a mere cabinet post.

Hilary is a seated Dem Senator in a reliably Dem state.

She ain't going anywhere, and considering this is probably her last "hurrah" in running for President for at least four and possibly eight years she has little to lose by dragging things out as long as possible.

I am not worried about either a Hussein or a Shrillary presidency. Both are too dangerous to our country.

And I think a lot of Demonrats will stay home and pout on Election Day.

I do not expect a gracious exit by Shrill, remembering how she had to be practically pulled off from the front gate of the White House, kicking and screaming, on Inauguration Day, in 2001.

The stakes are too high, Hillary will not back down.

I think they are both awful and need to be beaten. I hate that McCain is my only choice, but I'll make it. I do NOT think there will only be 4 years of Obama. I DO think a significant, if not ruinous, amount of damage can be done to this country by a President Obama.

re: #89 ciaospirit

Arrogance. I hope he gets the rug pulled.

I bet that Obama thinks that Abe was the dem who freed the slaves. While in office, he was one of the most reviled and distrusted presidents ever. It was only through the long lens of history that we saw how truly great that log cabin lawyer really was.

I think today was a big day for Hillary. I am not saying she is going to win, but she lives to fight another day. They negotiated to seat half the delegates and that raised the total number of delegates now needed to secure the nomination. Obama can't declare victory on Tuesday. Anybody want to bet that unaffiliated (wink, wink) democrats in both states are now going to litigate for the remaining half? She now can argue that she won the popular vote. Why would she quit now? What superdelegates wants to be known as the person that killed her campaign? And lo and behold, the Pastor issue is back. Who knows how much more Obama is going to to get dusted up betweeen now and the convention. Two plus months is an eternity in politics-she can't quit.

That picture of Hillary with Bill and Chelsea....having a laugh between themselves.

This is the most "intimate" portrait I have seen of them....they share something that no one outside that little coterie knows at that point in time. It is a very humanizing picture, and certainly not one of defeat.

I hope she loses, but I hope BHO doesn't win. She would be bad for the country. Hell, McCain won't be actually good. But B. Hussein will bring about the end of the country as we know it. This isn't just the usual bad mouthing of the opposition.

This is the Manchurian candidate. Fear is a realistic reaction.

2. Fred Thompson: Secretary of State

I am sure there are many other vital positions that would be worth having Romney, Rudy, and (California's Presidential candidates name eludes me) them on.

re: #92 looking closely

Agreed. She has NOTHING to gain by taking a cabinet position or by giving up early. The only cred she'll get is that of being a Democratic loyalist ... a party trooper. She's already squandered that so why bother.

If she delays, Obama could implode. This is truly likely. Its a question of timing -- before or after the convention. If after the convention, she can smugly said, "I told you so" and return to her NY senate seat.

Nice gig. She wins.

Backed into a corner, Mrs Clinton responded with increasingly outlandish claims about her qualifications, including a ludicrous statement that she had braved sniper fire on a trip to Bosnia.

Yeah- well she have claimed her uncle liberated Auschwitz....

I'm not sure how this will go but I don't think it's over. The decision today was arbitrary and weird; to just seat delegates with 1/2 votes. I don't think Clinton supporters would be appeased because because not all votes are counted equally. I also suspect that Hillary still smells blood in the water. Obama in prone to gaffes and is slow to react to controversies (like his church) which makes him very vulnerable. If I were to guess I'd bet Hillary will stick it out and take it to the convention.

re: #91 hermeneutics

A court challenge? Incredible. Any Lizard Lawyers here know what claims they would make in court? I would think that a political party is immune from judicial interference ... but maybe not.

I would love to know the theory for the action too,
My guess is that if they do go to court, the cause of action would be a voting rights violation wrapped around a denial of civil rights,

Hillary is just going to sit herself on a shelf and wait for the moment when Obama alive looks deader than Robert Kennedy. She will then suddenly reappear as the "viable alternative" about Labor Day or so. She won't get elected but will preserve the Copperhead core of the party for purposes of the house and senate election. My 2 cents worth for free!

Ciaspirit, zeez... What the hell are spoiled Americans going to do with a real "crisis"?Sorry if the cost of gas is 4.00 a gallon so you may have to cut out one or two of your lattes a week.
